What it does
Does the lighting in your room feel like crap? And does it make you look like you are attending meetings from a cave? Then edge light is for you. A well lit face is essential to looking good. Edge Light adds a soft ring light to your browser so your face stays brighter and clearer during video calls without any extra hardware. You can tweak brightness, intensity or color that suits your skin tone.

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
